One of the final and most emotional moments of Obama’s tenure involved the announcement of a Cancer Moonshot.
A massive influx of funding to accelerate cancer research.
Set against the backdrop of Biden skipping the 2016 race because Beau had just died of brain cancer.
How much money are we talking? $1.8 billion per year for seven years.
$44 billion of Elonbucks could have accelerated cancer research forever.
